30 Point Inspection

Just like your car requires its annual inspection to make sure the brakes, lines, and engine components are working properly, so does your personal financial plan. Hopefully, you already have one in place that was created either by you, or even better, by a professional financial planner. The plan is basically your road-map to retirement and financial security.

As we all know, nothing in life is constant, except change. For that reason you need to take some time every year to review the financial plan you have in place and to make sure that it still meets all of your needs. What follows is a quick 30-point inspection of the basics that should be covered in order to protect yourself financially.
